приве́т Hi Yulia,

I am very well, thank you. In my last email, I mentioned how I recently moved to Idaho. The main reason for this, is due to the COVID pandemic. It was difficult for my family to visit me due to travel restrictions, and I thought it was important to be closer to them during these times.

I now share an apartment with some of my siblings. We split the rent so it is very affordable, and the cost of living in Idaho is much less expensive. I am also closer to my mother now too. Today, she came to visit and she taught my brothers and I how to make bread. It tasted very good, especially fresh out of the oven and served with honey. I am very glad that you get to visit your father often. I think spending time with family is important.

I enjoyed seeing the pictures of your city. I read that Izhevsk is famous for its circus. Is this true? The friendship monument is very impressive, and the Svyato Mikhailovsky Cathedral is beautiful! It just started to snow here. It snows a lot here in Idaho and can get very cold - maybe like in Izhevsk. I don’t mind though. I actually like the snow

I am very happy that you are working in a job that you enjoy. I think it is important to try to find work that you are passionate about, and I can tell that you are very passionate about helping women look beautiful! I admire people who follow their dreams and passions. I believe there is more to life than just making money. Yes, money is useful to buy things to help make life comfortable for you and your family, but I do not think it brings happiness. Friends and family and those you love and have good relationships with are what bring happiness I think. It has taken me many years to realize this.

I also do not like online dating. I have never had any success with it. I enjoy writing Emails and letters, but I think many people my age do not do this as much anymore. I have never found my soul mate. I do not know if I have one, but I am not ready to give up looking yet. I am very happy that you messaged me, and wish to write. You write very nice words, and seem very kind and intelligent, and also very beautiful. It is rare to meet a woman who has all of these qualities. I am very lucky to meet you! I’m also very lucky that your English is much better than my Russian, so we can communicate ;)

I do not have social media to share pictures, but I am working on adding more pictures and stories of my travels to my blog. For example, you can read about my recent train trip here:

I will share more pictures later. I hope you have a nice day. Thank you for writing!

С уважением Yours faithfully,
Ryli
